Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor | ReaktiLabX – 17
The Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX – 17 studies batch reactor behavior for slow reaction rates and small product volumes. This Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor features a glass DN 100 tank, variable speed stirrer, and a stainless steel chambered bottom for isothermal heat exchange. It preheats reactants before transfer and tracks conversion using a combined conductivity and temperature sensor. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.
The Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX – 17 is typically employed when reaction rates are extremely slow or product amounts to be produced are small. This Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor attaches to the supply unit and is secured in place by two pins, connecting via quick-release connections. It studies the behavior and operation of a discontinuous stirred tank reactor as a complete, self-contained batch type unit.
Product Overview
Discontinuously operated stirred tank reactors are typically employed when the reaction rates are extremely slow or the product amounts to be produced are small. A gadget series that enables research with several reactor types includes this small batch reactor. A discontinuous stirred tank reactor’s behavior and operation can be studied. The apparatus includes a heating water circuit in addition to all required connections, pumps, reactant and product tanks, and tanks for reactants. The reactor is attached to the device and secured in place by two pins. The reactor and the unit can be connected via quick-release connections.
In the beginning of the unit, the reactants are preheated. Transfers of the reactants into the stirred tank reactor follow. By ensuring a homogenous mixture, a stirrer extends the amount of time that the reactants are in direct contact. In an isothermal operation, this Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor’s chambered bottom acts as a heat exchanger to study how temperature affects the reaction. By measuring the conductivity, the conversion in the stirred tank reactor is identified. The item comes with a conductivity/temperature sensor that works together. Temperature and conductivity are digitally shown on the unit’s switch cabinet.

Construction and Design
The Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX – 17 uses a reactor sized DN 100, 250mm in height, made of boro 3.3 glass, with a capacity of approximately 1950mL. A stirrer, driven by a variable speed brushless geared motor at 300min⁻¹, ensures a homogenous mixture and extends reactant contact time. The reactor’s chambered bottom, made of stainless steel, acts as a heat exchanger for isothermal operation, studying temperature effects on the reaction. The reactor is secured to the unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. Reactants are preheated at the beginning of the unit before being transferred into the reactor. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor identifies conversion in the reactor, with values digitally shown on the unit’s switch cabinet.
